Project Management Professional Practice Question

Midway through execution of a product-development project, the primary external supplier informs the project manager that a critical component shipment will be delayed by three weeks. The delay affects several activities on the project's critical path and could jeopardize the promised go-live date. Which action should the project manager take FIRST to address this impediment?

  • Escalate directly to the project sponsor and request approval to extend the overall project completion date.

  • Terminate the supplier's contract immediately and start sourcing a replacement without further analysis.

  • Accept the delay as uncontrollable and revisit it at the next status meeting while the team works on other tasks.

  • Document the delay in the issue log, assess its impact, and initiate collaborative mitigation with the vendor and stakeholders.
